BLOG STAR OF THE WEEK!!!

After our discussions in class today it has been decided that we will award a Blog Star of the Week award in our joint Friday afternoon lessons. There will be a small (possibly chocolaty) prize each week and if you get the award 3 times in a half term then there may be some cinema vouchers up for grabs! So get those posts up to date, get those clips up loaded and make yourself the first Blog Star of the Week!!!!!

AS/A2 Information!!!!!!


Hello there folks, after Ms Gunn and I attended our online training on Friday, here are the answers to some of the questions you asked us to put before the experts and some of the top tips they shared!

Can I use an artist I created for AS Print cwk (Magazines) as the artist in my A2 Music video?
Yes you can! They think it is a good idea and suggest that you can highlight the development from AS to A2 in your written paper.

How many posts are expected on an AS/A2 blog?
Between 65-100 (If you haven't got started with your posts take the time to update them! You should be spending 5 hours a week at least on your coursework OUTSIDE of lesson time!)

What advice would you give to AS students taking part in the Print coursework to help them achieve their best?
Use multiple photo shoots to showcase your work - have a cover story/elite person different to the one you use for your double page spread.

Keep an eye on how you use your fonts! Consider a range of sizes, colours, expected conventions, think about where you are placing them, the impact they have on the consumer and how they will specifically attract your target audience.

Make sure the standard of your contents page and double page spread equals your front cover
